WAC 388-503-0515 Medical coverage resulting from a cash grant

  1. Families or individuals eligible for SSI, SSI state supplement or TANF cash grants are automatically eligible for categorically needy (CN) medical coverage. These clients receive medical coverage benefits without making a separate application. Certification for CN medical coverage parallels that for the cash benefits.

  2. Upon termination of cash benefits as described in subsection (1) of this section, medical coverage continues until the client's eligibility for other medical coverage can be completed. Continuing medical coverage is terminated if the client does not cooperate with the eligibility re-determination process. 

  3. Individuals eligible for state financial assistance (SFA) cash grants may receive medical coverage for:

    1. An emergent medical condition as described in WAC 388-438-0110; or

    2. Pregnancy as described in WAC 388-462-0015.
